A SPECIAL REGIONAL REPORT 

The State of Learning & Development in Europe

Employees across Europe value the development they receive, but too often they can't see where it leads or find the time to pursue it.

Based on the European findings from Perceptyx's 2026 State of Learning & Development study, drawing on 989 employees across 11 countries, this report examines where development is working for European organisations and where the strategy, direction, and capacity around it become harder for employees to see.

For L&D leaders across Europe, the opportunity is to make the system around learning as clear as the learning itself.

Access your copy to discover:

  • Why 71% of employees say learning produces lasting behaviour change, yet only half can see a clear learning strategy for the year ahead,
  • How limited time has become Europe's defining L&D constraint — and where it leaves European organisations against their North American peers,
  • Why executives and individual contributors experience L&D so differently, and what that reveals about how strategy reaches the wider workforce,
  • How the picture shifts across countries and industries, from the UK and Germany to manufacturing and professional services, plus
  • Four questions every employee should be able to answer about their development, and how European leaders can close the gaps they expose.
